Brigadier-General Sir John Johnson, 2nd Baronet (5 November 1741 – 4 January 1830) was an American-born military officer, politician and landowner who fought as a Loyalist during the American Revolutionary War. He was the son of Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet, a prominent British Indian Department official in the Thirteen Colonies. Johnson inherited his father's baronetcy and estate in 1774.

Johnson moved to the Province of Quebec during the Revolutionary War with his family and allies, as he was at risk of arrest by Patriot authorities. During the war, he served in the King's Royal Regiment of New York and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 1782. In the same year, Johnson was also appointed as Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs, a position he occupied until his death in 1830.

After the war, Johnson was appointed by the Crown to distribute lands in Upper Canada to exiled Loyalists, and he helped resettle approximately 3,800 Loyalist refugees in 1784. Johnson also served in the Legislative Council of Lower Canada.
